Elaborate
not true… i have a scratch by my cat from 5 years ago that left a big scar!
Idk honestly
But yeah, I do love my friends, except we don’t hang out much outside school because we live quite far apart and I can never think of anything to try organising
Granted, I’ve never tried
Then try
Or… make new friends that live closer to you
I feel like I’m getting absolutely cooked rn
I probably should’ve put /j on the end of that because I have tried, I do try, I’ve been trying and I just can’t think of anything that would be both enjoyable and easy to organise
Some of my friends live close too btw
maybe sykadelik is just wolverine then
or they have really thick skin
have you tried steam party games
If they aren’t putting in any effort to spend time with you then they don’t sound like very good friends
Don’t expect yourself to do all the work
Not sure if this can apply to Sykadelik, but personally, the people in my town are terrible. I value basic respect and listening skills heavily, and there’s barely anyone here who can do either of those. Trying to have a conversation feels the same as talking to myself.
They can’t be all bad surely
If you lived in a city then maybe since city folk are usually pretty miserable, but in a town?
Nope
Not thought of that
No.
Just… no.
They are literally the best friends I’ve ever had, I don’t care what anyone says, we just all have the same problem and honestly? We’re all fine with that (except for one guy who ended the one social thing we did together over it). We don’t mind only seeing each other in school.
I’m sorry if I came across as angry then, I did not mean to. I just get… protective.
I think this is all due to a misunderstanding.
This might sound a bit rude but are they the best friends you’ve ever had or the only friends you’ve ever had
Since you say you’re still in school, I doubt you’ve had a lot of time to develop that many relationships through your life
…okay, look.
I’ll admit, I’ve struggled to make friends throughout my life. When I got to secondary school, I made a lot of mistakes when making friends. I made a friend I later found out upskirted someone. I made a friend who tried to force the whole group under a dictatorship. I made a friend who threatened to do unspeakable things to another.
So obviously I discount those.
But the ones I know are true? They’re different. They’re the ones I can trust with anything. They’re the ones who trust me. I know what genuine friendships are like and can confidently say that’s what I have with them. I can’t quite word it here but you just have to trust me. I wouldn’t be on the forums to have this discussion if it weren’t for one of them, and I honestly doubt I’d still be alive if not for any of them.
As such, I’m going to get heavy amounts of sleep now because it is 2.25am and I am deprived.
huh??
why do you want scars
What if I’m scared of social interaction
Bet you 3 galleons loki has a rant locked and loaded about this
Try doing small things that you’re scared of first, that’s how you develop courage which then turns into habit. Repetition and practice is key to understanding.
If that doesn’t work, you’re going to need to grow your self-confidence through any mean possible (outside of degrading others or surrounding yourself with individuals worse off than you). I suggest working out, finding a hobby and turning it into a skill, etc.
